What time do 9070 sales go live?

Well...there is clearly a bit of a £40-£50 premium tagged on them compared to the RRP.

Of course, it wouldn't be a gpu launch without the random price premium slapped on. "We have plenty of stock this time and have had it from January, so we had to clean dust off the boxes, so £50 extra for that service thank ye very much".

They are just anticipating the FOMO buzz.

I'm going to take a step back and wait for the potential silliness to calm down and pick one up in a couple of months.

I'm not bothering until i see if the next Battlefield game is gonna be worth a crap or not, this vega 64 runs the old cod games nicely. :D

Just remember that AMD are quick to drop prices, they also need gaming sales unlike Nvidia.

Half the reason to get one is to not pay Nvidia’s rip off pricing so it defeats the object if you end up being ripped off on AMD.

Maybe, but I think it's unlikely they will drop the 9070xt price anytime soon.

Depends if people buy them at inflated prices and continue to do so.

AMD need to win market share and they won’t do that if prices are unrealistic vs MSRP as people will wait for the 5070ti to hit MSRP.
 
I just really hope AMD can get close to the 40 series in ray/path tracing my 7900xt is useless at it.

I meant drop the MSRP.
 
People will never be happy, if they came in at £300 someone would come on here and say it should be £250.

Personally I think it would be better if the actual price were between £550 and £600. And assuming normal course of things that probably will happen during sales next year. But the markets are completely F'd at the moment, and show no signs of changing. With that in mind these prices are fine, certainly good enough to eat nvidias cake.

I hope they stay at this level for a while, I have an awful feeling that after the first wave sell through the price will creep up.
